Question 1

Is Stainless Steel 410 Strips magnetic, and how does this relate to its microstructure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Stainless Steel 410 Strips is magnetic under annealed and hardened forms because it is described as martensitic. This is in contrast to the typical non magnetic nature of austenitic stainless steels such as 304. This is permanent throughout the processing stages.

Question 2

What are the key heat treatment steps required to achieve maximum hardness in Stainless Steel 410 Strips?

Accepted Answer

The strips have to be subjected to heating to austenitizing temperature then quickly cooled down or quenched to create martensite. Internal stresses should be alleviated with another treatment of tempering to help increase ductility. This procedure balances the toughness and strength.

Question 3

Can Stainless Steel 410 Strips be used in high chloride or marine environments?

Accepted Answer

No, Stainless Steel 410 Strips cannot be immersed or continuously worked in high chloride/sea environment. The medium strength of corrosion is not sufficient in such conditions and the pitting is rapid. It is mostly geared towards light atmospheric service.
